_t The manufacturer recommends installing
a battery operated carbon monoxide alarm
indoors, according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
NEVER use in the home, or in partly enclosed
areas such as garages, campers or trailers. ONLY
use outdoors and far from open windows, doors,
vents.
Using a generator indoors CAN KiLL YOU iN MINUTES.
Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide. This is
a poison you cannot see or smelJ.
NEVER use insidea home
or garage, EVEN iF doors
and windows are open.
Only use OUTSIDE and
far away from windows,
doors, and vents.
2. Removethefuel cap andcheckthe fuel level. Iffuel is needed,
seethesection "FUELINGTHEGENERATOR".
3. Removethe left side service cover and check the oil level
by removingthe oil filler cap. The oil level should be to the
bottom of thethreadson the oil fill pipe. If oil is needed,see
thesection "ADDINGENGINEOILL
4. Replaceand securethe left side service cover.
5. Makesure there are no loads connectedto the generator.
6. The National Electric Code (NEC) requires the frame and
external electrically conductive parts of the generator be
properly connected to an approved earth ground. Proper
grounding of the generatorwill prevent electrical shock in
the event of a ground fault condition in the generator or in
connected electrical devices. Proper grounding also helps
dissipatestatic electricity,which often builds up in unguarded
devices.
7. Local electricalcodes may also require proper grounding of
thegenerator.
CAUTION!
_t tarting the generator with accessories
connected to the 120 VAC outlets will
damage the generator and the connected
devices.
STARTING THE GENERATOR
Oncethe fuel and oil levels have beenchecked and it has been
verified there are no loads connected, the generator may be
started. Turnthe FlexPowerSwitch OFF(0).
1. Openthe fuel valve (Figure4), locatedbelow the starter rope
pull, byturningto thevalve90°counter-clockwisetothe "ON"
(I) position.

againstthe generator.Pull the rope slowly until resistanceis
felt,then pullthe rope rapidly up to three (3) times.
5. If the enginedoes not start, repeatsteps2-4 untilthe engine
